iQ Power Deutschland GmbH (Germany)

iQ Power has already been gratefully contributed to the PEIT project and developed the world's first intelligent (smart) car battery. iQ Power is currently preparing a manufacturing site of this intelligent energy storage concept. The experiences with energy management systems will help to set up reliable power supplies for the SPARC systems, that will be invented by DaimlerChrysler, Knorr Bremse and Haldex. iQ Power will prove the energy management concept for x-by-wire to be scalable with heavy goods- and passenger cars. Failsafe electrical energy supply at any time for an x-by-wire truck in a tractor-trailer combination is the most advanced method of energy management in a vehicle including.

The company provides hardware and software products, as well as engineering services. Technology licenses round out its portfolio. iQ Power’s solutions include such products as diagnostic battery systems (smart energy storage systems), supercaps, instrumentation devices and diagnostic systems for on-board power networks, as well as integrated hardware and software system solutions for both battery management (BEM™) and total energy management (SEM™).

iQ Power Deutschland GmbH was founded in 1994 in Germany with the aim of conducting research and product development in the area of intelligent performance-improved battery systems. Today the Munich based company is a wholly owned subsidiary iQ Power AG, headquartered in Zug /Switzerland, a holding that is listed on the German stock exchange General Standard (Geregelter Markt), Frankfurt.

The digital revolution, which has seen more and more electronics being used in the automotive industry has, so far, passed the car battery without leaving a mark. However, the automotive industry can no longer afford to ignore this disadvantage, considering the rapidly increasingly high levels of energy required in modern cars. iQ Power recognised this untapped market and developed the world's first microprocessor-controlled car battery: the iQ energy storage system MagiQ™. But the MagiQ™ is only the beginning, and the automotive industry is just one of many potential applications.
